Dodson and Horrell Stroppy Mare

Product Information

Menadione (Vitamin K3) Vitamin K is a cofactor for enzymes involved in blood clotting. It also supports healthy blood vessels and bone health. When the mare is in season, then we'll soon know and the working session will be adjusted accordingly. She'll bronc, she'll gallop, she'll be super sharp. This natural mare supplement is a carefully cultivated mix of seven dried herbs combined to maintain hormone balance and support your mare through her season.

Docosahexaenoic acid Docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6) is an omega-3 polyunsaturanted fatty acid with a 22-carbon chain and a final carbon double bond in the third position. DHA plays important roles in brain health and inflammation regulation. A bespoke formulation for hormonal support would include calming herbs such as milk thistle and chamomile, and can be refined to reflect the mare’s response. A mix of traditional calming herbs that help manage the behaviours and comfort of cycling mares, reducing unpredictability and aggression caused by hormone levels. Copper Copper is a trace mineral required for hoof health, coat quality connective tissue, and immmune function. It should be provided in a 3:1 ratio of zinc to copper. A herbal extract that supports the hormonal balance in sensitive and moody mares by helping to regulate the hormonal cycle.Myristic acid Myristic acid (C14:0) is a saturated fatty acid that is found in plant and animal fats. It has a chemical structure of 14 carbon atoms with no double bonds. So, what I'm getting around to say is ... play it by ear. If she does that very first exercise perfectly for 30 seconds, then you might want to tell her that was great, and put her away happy, because you've established a base-line. You can build on that.

Acid Detergent Insoluble Protein (ADIP) ADIP is the amount of protein that is bound to the ADF (insoluble fiber) fraction. Subtract this value from crude protein to determine available protein. This non-magnesium supplement contains wheatgerm extract, which helps with challenging oestrus-associated behaviour. It also has added B vitamins and natural botanical extracts to support healthy maintenance of the nervous system. Linoleic acid Linoleic acid (C18:2) is a polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acid. It is an omega-6 fatty acid because it has a final carbon double bond in the sixth position.Dodson & Horrell Stroppy Mare: A wonderful blend of peony petals raspberry leaves chamomile vervain St John's wort and chaste tree berries which have been formulated to help calm your hormonal mare. Hormonal changes can cause problems with your horse's temperament making them difficult to handle during certain times of the year. Chamomile is well known for its calming properties. Niacin Niacin (vitamin B3, nicotinic acid) is required for coenzymes involved in energy production, redox reactions and cell division. I had been riding her for 8 months and had only just started to win her over, though she would still act up now and again.

Tryptophan Tryptophan is an amino acid required to make the neurotransmitters serotonin and mielatonin.Histidine Histidine is incorporated into various proteins. It is also converted into histamine, which is important for the immune system, and carnosine. Why did I get her then? Because when I went to try her out, she was a pleasant horse after we were done with her. (So there was promise) btw I take the whippy end off a dressage whip and put a flap of neoprene there instead to soften it, so I can use it for 'tapping' like tap-tap-tap on the shoulder when you want the shoulder to move away from you - it doesn't have that sting to it that implies 'punishment' that a standard schooling whip has. Plus it's nice if you can get one as long as possible. Iron Iron is a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Chromium Chromium is a trace mineral involved in metabolic function and insulin regulation. It influences glucose (blood sugar) uptake into tissues.

Phosphorus Phosphorus is a macromineral involved in the maintaining the structure and function of bone. It is also a component of ATP and cell membranes. Chloride Chloride is an electrolyte and is important for the transmission of nerve impulses. It is found in salt (sodium chloride). Maybe this morning’s refusal to be caught was her way of showing her independence. She gave in eventually but she made her point. She’ll do what I ask of her, as long as I ask nicely and I give her a biscuit or two. She does enough to keep me happy.
